Equipping Parents at Beverly Hills Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, to Disciple Their Children

Abstract

This project seeks to equip parents at Beverly Hills Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, to be primary disciple-makers of their children. Chapter 1 presents the historical and ministerial setting and goals of this project. Chapter 2 explores and exegetes the relevant biblical data establishing parents as primary disciple-makers of their children (Deut 6:4-9; Ps 78:1-8; Prov 1:8; 22:6; Eph 6:1-4). Chapter 3 considers the variety of ministry models in modern churches that seek to equip parents as primary disciple-makers of their children and seeks to promote the Family-Equipping Model as strongest. Chapter 4 describes the project as the teaching series is carried out week-by-week. Chapter 5 evaluates the project based on completion of the specified goals. The final purpose of this project is to equip parents to understand the urgency of carrying out discipleship in their home with their children and not relying on anyone else, even the church, to do this important work for them.
